Rather than actually try to explain what CBC commentator Don Cherry said about the Toronto Maple Leafs and GM Brian Burke, we'll point you to the video.

As background, the Maple Leafs are a mess and on Friday fired coach Ron Wilson, replacing him with Randy Carlyle. Burke, an American, favors American college players—and more to Cherry's point, but only slightly, does not have any Ontario-born players on the roster.

That, predictably, does not make Cherry happy—citing the success of Ontarian-heavy teams like the Pittsburgh Penguins and Vancouver Canucks, he said during his "Coach's Corner" segment on "Hockey Night in Canada" that the lack of Ontarians on the Maple Leafs is "a crime.'" And he didn't stop there—eventually he accused Burke of trying to get him fired.

Carlyle, for whatever it's worth, was born in Sudbury, Ontario; the team's AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, has eight players from Ontario; and the Maple Leafs themselves have four from Alberta, three from Saskatchewan and one apiece from Quebec, British Columbia and Manitoba. There are eight Americans on the NHL roster.
